B次元官网网址楤ringing home the baconB次元官网网址� may be an iconic idiom about making money for some, but to PETA its one of several derogatory phrases that hurt animals and need to stop being repeated.
In its latest social media campaign, the animal-welfare activist group said Tuesday that B次元官网网址榮peciesismB次元官网网址�, is similar to racist or homophobic comments, but for animals.
The campaign is asking people to swap out phrases like B次元官网网址楰ill two birds with one stoneB次元官网网址�, for B次元官网网址榝eed to birds with one sconeB次元官网网址�.
B次元官网网址楾ake the bull by the hornsB次元官网网址�, a common phrase meaning to deal with a difficult or dangerous situation bravely, should be replaced by B次元官网网址榯ake the flower by the thornsB次元官网网址�, PETA said.
Words matter, and as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves along with it. HereB次元官网网址檚 how to remove speciesism from your daily conversations.
B次元官网网址� PETA: Bringing Home the Bagels Since 1980 (@peta)
B次元官网网址淛ust as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialize cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are and start B次元官网网址榖ringing home the bagelsB次元官网网址� instead of the bacon,B次元官网网址� the organization said.
The campaign has gotten mixed reviews, including one Twitter user named Arthur Emswell suggesting that a bird is more likely to survive having a stone thrown at it than eating a scone.
Why are you being anti-plant? Plants have as much rights as animals.

Birds , IB次元官网网址檓 sure donB次元官网网址檛 like scones;
People of a certain age might have been conceived in a test tube;
DonB次元官网网址檛 over feed a horse, otherwise itB次元官网网址檒l be obese;
Bagels, only if they are gluten free;
Not all flowers have thorns;
I donB次元官网网址檛 eat meat, I care for my own animals & all the beasties in my wildlife friendly garden. IB次元官网网址檝e driven many miles to get rescued critters to safety & I profoundly loathe any mistreatment of animals. But this is utterly absurd, you sound foolish & it undermines your good work.
